minus-squareShapillon the Skavenlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoI don’t know many communist per se (mostly other flavor of leftists/marxists) but most of the folks around me hold wikipedia in high regards.
minus-squarenephslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI definitely do. Wikipedia is amazing. But. Unfortunately, everything is political: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816 My point wasn’t even judging Wikipedia. I just think “us vs them” is a horrible framework for reasoning.
minus-squarechicken@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHow is OP using that reasoning though I don’t get it. Just by using the word ‘They’?
minus-squarenephslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years agoIt sparked from me wondering who’s this “they” OP was referencing to. Pretty much impossible to pinpoint. And then, I associated that with “us vs them” rhetoric lines. I didn’t even accuse OP of anything. I just wrote what that shower though made me think about. Maybe it was just another shower thought.

minus-squarenephslinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 years agoI agree wholeheartedly. :) My commentary was an observation about “us vs them” way of reasoning, only. I’m happy for your lemmy karma success!
